RTX Ventures (Raytheon)

RTX Ventures is RTX Corporation's corporate venture arm. It backs defense technology rather than public philanthropy, and the program sits inside a company that uses venture capital as a strategic channel into aerospace and defense markets. The current program is separate from the company's broader giving and employee matching activity. The route is equity only. Checks run from about $1 million to $30 million, with a median near $5 million, for for-profit companies in defense, space, and cyber at roughly TRL 3-9. The model is rolling and aimed at defense-aligned companies that can support a strategic partnership. The best fit is a company that wants capital plus a relationship with a major aerospace and defense buyer. Same-round stacking is disallowed, so the cleanest applicants are those raising a distinct strategic round with clear dual-use relevance and a technical roadmap that can survive close diligence. It suits teams that can use corporate venture without losing technical independence.
